Excluding being a little confused by the "drive through" signage for a non-existent feature, I would give it an almost perfect score. Food was hot and delicious! Service was excellent. Took off a point for the atmosphere because of the noise. While it was clean and the decor was right on, the concrete floor, glass and tin walls, etc. provided no noise dampening, so as it got busy the noise level increased exponentially. Still worth it. Best BBQ I've had in the...
I had heard heroic stories of how fantastic the BBQ is at this location and may have had overly high expectations. In my opinion, the food is good, but the BBQ sauce is kinda weak. It didn't have great flavor. I would visit again if I was in the area, but I wouldn't travel far to go there.
Great food, good service, but be careful… the price on the menu isn’t what you pay…. Without telling us, they charge us extra for ribs on the two meat plate meal. They also added a tip without informing us. What difference does it make if the waitress serves 4 tables with two persons or a long table with 8 persons… go figure…maybe next time we’ll all sit in different table and let the waitress really work for the tip…
Parking: Nice clean open parking area.
